<p><strong>Diddy</strong> isn&#8217;t letting his recent legal drama get in the way of paying tribute to the late <strong>Kim Porter</strong> on her birthday. Porter died from pneumonia on Nov. 15, 2018.</p>

<blockquote><p>&#8220;We miss you so much Kim! Happy Birthday Beautiful! Love forever,&#8221; Diddy wrote, along with a black heart emoji.</p></blockquote>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Kim Porter&#8217;s Kids Pay Tribute To Their Mom</h3>
<p>The music mogul&#8217;s post came shortly after their son, <strong>Christian Combs</strong>, and twin daughters, <strong>Jessie</strong> and<strong> D&#8217;Lila</strong>, hopped on their respective social media platforms to remember their mother.</p>
<p>Christian shared two separate posts on his Instagram story. The first shows Kim seemingly reacting to a birthday card from her son as the rapper gleefully smiles. The caption reads,<em> &#8220;Happy heavenly birthday, mommy.&#8221; </em></p>
<p>Additionally, the second post was a photo of Kim holding onto her son as a baby, which Christian had turned into his iPhone lock screen display.</p>
<p>Elsewhere, the twins wrote a sentimental message to honor their mom&#8217;s birthday with a throwback photo of them with mommy on vacation.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Happy heavenly birthday Queen,&#8221; they wrote. &#8220;We love you so muchhhhhhh. Everything we do is for you. We miss you sooooo much and we are always thinking about you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Kim Porter Continues To Inspire Diddy Musically</h3>
<p>According to <a href="https://people.com/music/diddy-talks-dating-finding-love-after-kim-porter-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PEOPLE</a>, Diddy and Porter dated throughout the &#8217;90s and shared an on-off relationship in the &#8217;00s before calling it quits for good in 2007.</p>
<p>In September, Diddy revealed how Kim has recently greatly influenced his music. He told <a href="https://www.etonline.com/diddy-reveals-how-his-relationship-with-late-ex-kim-porter-inspired-his-new-music-exclusive-211275" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Entertainment Tonight</a> the passing of his ex in 2018 had still been a struggle for him. His ongoing grief reportedly inspired him to create an album dedicated to love.</p>
<p>His latest album, &#8216;The Love Album,&#8217; was deemed a tribute to Porter and their shared experiences throughout their decades-long relationship. The sudden loss of Porter seemingly deeply affected the &#8216;Come To Me&#8217; rapper. In response, he channeled his emotions and turned them into art.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I always said that I can&#8217;t make a hit record unless my heart is broken. It&#8217;s just like a vulnerable state that you&#8217;re in,&#8221; he said. “When I lost Kim, it broke my heart forever.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Diddy Addresses Recent Lawsuits Filed Against Him</h3>
<p>Just last week, Diddy defended himself on social media. This comes weeks after denying accusations of sexual assault stemming from four lawsuits. His ex-girlfriend, <strong>Cassie</strong>, was the first to accuse Diddy of rape, abuse, and trafficking. Within 24 hours, they <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/cassie-diddy-settle-lawsuit-release-statements/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">settled the suit</a> for an undisclosed amount.</p>
<p>Then, three other women stepped forward with similar accusations. In one of the most recent suits, an anonymous woman says the mogul <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/diddy-reacts-new-lawsuit-accuses-him-group-assault-minor-teenager/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">participated in gang-raping her</a> when she was 17.</p>
<p>In response, Diddy shared a public statement on his Instagram, denying the accusations and expressing his frustration at the situation. He believes the alleged victims are seeking nothing more than &#8220;a quick payday.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;For the last couple of weeks, I have sat silently and watched people try to assassinate my character, destroy my reputation and my legacy,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;Sickening allegations have been made against me by individuals looking for a quick payday. “Let me be absolutely clear: I did not do any of the awful things being alleged. I will fight for my name, my family and for the truth.”</p></blockquote>
